Patient's question:
Frequent urination. Impotence during sexual activity accompanied by premature ejaculation symptoms. Consulted with Director Ma at Shandong Dongfang Urology.Doctor's answer:
Because epididymitis can be acute or chronic, the treatment also has different focuses. For acute epididymitis, it is recommended that patients rest in bed, lift the scrotum to reduce pain. In the early stage, an ice pack can be placed on the epididymis to prevent swelling. In the later stage, heat application can be used to promote local blood circulation and accelerate the resolution of inflammation. Since it is an infection, anti-infection treatment should be conducted. Broad-spectrum antibiotics and those that are more effective against Gram-negative bacteria are commonly used in clinical practice. For systemic symptoms such as pain and fever, symptomatic treatment with antipyretic and analgesic drugs should be applied.
